James Henry | Greenville, SC Heirloom Children’s Portraits

Capturing heirloom portraits is always a special experience, but it becomes even more meaningful when working with families who have been long-time clients. James Henry’s recent session was a perfect example of why I love creating these timeless portraits. With his bright personality and playful energy, we had a wonderful time documenting this season of his childhood at 2 years old!

Margaret | Greenville, SC Heirloom Portrait Photography

As a Greenville, SC heirloom portrait specialist, I’ve had the joy of photographing countless children over the past nine years. Every session is unique, but Margaret’s recent session was a special and fun one. At just 18 months old, Margaret was the picture of happiness—relaxed, content, and full of sweet personality.

Layla’s Sitter Session | Greenville, SC Baby Photographer

As a Greenville, SC-based heirloom portrait specialist, I’ve had the privilege of capturing countless milestones for families. While newborn portraits are undoubtedly precious, there’s one session that holds a special place in my heart: the sitter session.

Baby Josie | Greenville, SC Natural Newborn Photographer

I love this sweet family so much! I’ve been photograhping their family since big sister was 2 and we did her heirloom portrait! Since then, I’ve photographed baby #2, sweet Bishop who also came in for his portrait at 2 years old, and sweet baby Josie, the littlest sister of the bunch.

Lanie | Greenville, SC Heirloom Portrait Photographer

Sweet Lanie has been coming to the studio since day ONE! I did her newborn session, as well as her one year portrait (which you can see here!) and now her 3 year old portrait! She was a little shy and unsure at first for this session, but with a few silly tricks we got her smiling and laughing.

One and Three are two of my favorite ages for portraits, and it’s ideal ages to have photographed if you plan to do multiple portrait sessions. I love seeing the change between these years!

Henry | First Birthday Heirloom Portrait Session

Sweet Henry came in to celebrate his first birthday milestone with an Heirloom Portrait session. I LOVE photographing babies at this age for this session type. It makes for such a special heirloom and keepsake when littles are making the transition from baby to toddler.

Milestones

Maren & Coast | Greenville, SC Twin Photography Session

Maren & Coast are a part of my First Year Collective membership. This membership includes 3 milestone sessions. The first, a newborn session capturing all the tiny details of your brand new baby (or babies in their case!), then a milestone “sitter” session when little ones are old enough to sit independently (which is what this session is!), and a final capstone session to mark one whole YEAR and celebrate baby’s first birthday.

Charlie – Greenville, SC Heirloom Portrait Photographer

Sweet Charlie came to see me in my Greenville, SC studio all the way from the South Carolina coast! I’m always honored when families go to great lengths to come for their portrait session. I take so much pride in doing really high quality work, and to me, this shows me that my clients really value and can SEE how much joy and love and perfection I put into my work.

Baby Walker | Greenville, SC Lifestyle Newborn Photographer

Walker was a little over two weeks old for his lifestyle newborn session in his Greenville, SC home. It was a beautiful, sunny March morning and I loved finally meeting the sweet baby boy whose arrival I’d been anticipating since we did his maternity session in Falls Park.
